Your Baltimore photographer, here to capture the real, candid moments that feel like you

At Nicole Simensky Photography, I understand that your story is unique, just like you. As a trusted photographer in Baltimore and DC, I value authenticity, because being you is priceless. And like good books on sunny days, authentic storytelling enriches our lives. With a blend of authenticity, elegance, and heartfelt storytelling, I deliver images that reflect who you are, so you can relive the magic of your wedding day for years to come.

Your wedding day isn’t a photo shoot, it’s an experience. And my approach to photographing your day reflects that. I’m not here to orchestrate your day. I’m here to observe it, gently guide when needed, to preserve your true, natural connection with each other.

Before your wedding day we’ll collaborate on building your wedding photography timeline in a way that considers everything important to you while giving you space to allow real moments to happen. We'll chat about your photo vision and what feels right for you. 

While yes, I’ll offer direction when you need it. Like guiding where the light is best to how to stand so you feel comfortable and connected rather than awkward. I never want to force you into stiff poses or pull you out of a moment because the timeline says so.

My goal isn’t perfection. My goal for you is presence, connection, quality time. So that when you look back through your wedding memories you feel it all over again.

Just as much as I love using film cameras, I love collecting them too. My oldest dates back to early 1900's.

Our playful golden retrievers, Denali and Moose, and our calico Bella, keep our home interesting.

When I'm not shooting & editing, you can either find me getting in a lift or curled up with my next read.

My ultimate goal for you is to be present throughout your wedding day. Not worried about the little things, but chatting with your best friends, enjoying the food, laughing with your favorite people. 

I prefer to observe and gently guide you through posing, to capture the real, perfectly imperfect moments that make your wedding day truly yours.
